2 Women Cashed Forged Checks Worth $3,900 In Oxford: Police

OXFORD, CT — The Oxford Resident State Trooper’s Office seeks the identity of two female larceny suspects. On Oct. 4, two female suspects in a dark-colored Chrysler sedan cashed two fraudulent/forged personal checks totaling over $3,900 at the Ion Bank in Oxford, State Police said.

The personal checks were drawn from other banks, but were made out to an Ion Bank customer, State Police said. The female suspect in the passenger seat presented the Ion customer's stolen CT driver's license in order to cash the checks, State Police said.

Prior to the Oxford transaction the same two female suspects attempted to cash the checks at the Ion Bank in Ansonia, but the teller refused, State Police said.

Following the Oxford transaction the same two female suspects attempted to cash more fraudulent/forged checks at the Ion Bank in Naugatuck, however the teller stalled the transaction and contacted the Naugatuck Police Department, State Police said. Before officers arrived at the bank, the female suspects fled. Naugatuck Police seized the checks and the Ion customer’s stolen driver’s license, State Police said.

The Ion customer's pocketbook had originally been stolen out of her vehicle in Naugatuck on October 2, 2017. The license plate attached to the suspect vehicle was reported stolen out of Danbury, State Police said.

Anyone who thinks they may have any information or thinks they may know the identity or whereabouts of either suspect is asked to call the Oxford Resident State Trooper’s Office at 203-888-4353, Troop A-Southbury at 203-267-2200 or text TIP711 with any information to 274637.
